Shopsmith tool holder

SS sells it - the shelf - you can probably deduce the plan from an on site catalog picture at

LD - who saw just such a shelf today, but figures there has to be a better way, or it should hang from the back of the tool and not the front)

There are in fact plans for the tool shelf on the picture/file section of the shopsmith yahoogroup. There are variations depending on whether you have a model 500 or a 510/520. Many folks have said it just catches a lot of sawdust. Others have installed some of that white wire shelving between the Shopsmith legs. Even better, in my opinion, is the cabinet that can be built to hang off the Shopsmith way tubes. There are also plans for that on the site. These plans were created by Shopsmith and have been published in the old Shopsmith magazine and in various hand-outs and files. look for "the under-the-shopsmith cabinet".

Thanks for the info Dave. I'll take a look. The cabinet sounds good, as it would add more weight.
